Schneider Electric BCH1302N12A1C BCH Series Servo Motor — Keyed Shaft, No Oil Seal, 20‑bit Encoder, No Brake, Straight Connector

Product overview The Schneider Electric BCH1302N12A1C is a BCH series industrial servo motor designed for precise closed‑loop motion applications. This variant features a keyed shaft (for positive torque transmission), no oil seal (suitable where contamination control or specific environmental sealing is not required), a high‑resolution 20‑bit encoder for accurate position feedback, no integrated brake, and a straight connector for power/feedback cabling.

Key features

• Manufacturer: Schneider Electric
• Model: BCH1302N12A1C (BCH series)
• Shaft: Keyed shaft (standard keyway for secure coupling)
• Sealing: No oil seal (open shaft design)
• Feedback: 20‑bit encoder providing high-resolution position feedback (digital encoder)
• Brake: Without integrated brake (motor supplied without holding brake)
• Connector: Straight connector configuration for motor power and encoder cabling
• Form factor: Industrial servo motor designed for machine‑tool, robotics and OEM motion systems

Benefits

• High position resolution from the 20‑bit encoder supports precise positioning and smooth motion profiles.
• Keyed shaft enables robust mechanical coupling for transmiting torque to gears, pulleys or encoders.
• Straight connector simplifies routing in many machine layouts and facilitates standardized cable assemblies.
• No integrated brake reduces mass and simplifies installation where holding torque is provided externally or not required.
• BCH family compatibility ensures straightforward integration with matching drives and feedback interfaces in Schneider Electric ecosystems.

Typical applications

• Robotics and pick‑and‑place axes
• Packaging, labeling and material handling equipment
• Indexing tables and rotary actuators
• OEM automation systems requiring high‑resolution feedback and secure shaft coupling

Installation and compatibility notes

• Confirm electrical and mechanical compatibility (voltage, current, rated torque, mounting dimensions and connector pinout) with the target drive/controller and machine design before installation.
• As this variant has no oil seal and no brake, evaluate environmental exposure and holding requirements; add external sealing or brakes where necessary.
• Use Schneider Electric documentation for connector pinouts, encoder wiring, mounting dimensions and recommended torque limits for the keyed shaft.
• Follow manufacturer installation, grounding and EMC guidelines to ensure reliable operation and long service life.

Documentation and support

• Refer to the official Schneider Electric BCH series datasheet and user manual for full electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, encoder protocol details, wiring diagrams and maintenance instructions.
